Software-Defined Network benefits

SDN is ideal for building geographically distributed networks, with customers being able to centrally manage networks of any size, adjust settings, change configurations, and remotely solve problems in branches located far away from HQ.

оCustomers benefit from paying for actually consumed network resources, with the IDC 2016 report showing that SDN and NFV adoption can reduce annual telecom infrastructure OPEX and CAPEX by approximately 20%.

SDN is compatible with multi-vendor solutions, with CROC’s Software-Defined Infrastructure Center gathering rich and comprehensive expertise in IT infrastructure virtualization solutions offered by leading global vendors.

In addition, CROC also actively cooperates with Russian SDN and NFV solution developers.

CROC’s own SDN and NFV lab is designed to demonstrate SDN advantages in comparison with classical network architectures, with private cloud demo booths showcasing SDN based on Open vSwitch and Neutron solutions.

For a long time, CROC has been using SDN technologies in its own cloud section, which was built on the RedHat (KVM) open source platform, thus expanding cloud functionality and improving IaaS and SaaS performance. In addition, SDN technologies also help customers simplify data transfer and security policy management within private clouds based on customer infrastructure.
